British Marine member, Yacht Sentinel Ltd, a European company specialising in connected boat technologies, is pleased to announce that it will equip all new boats built by leading catamaran manufacturer Fountaine Pajot from February 2021 onwards.
Yacht Sentinel will be providing the catamarans with a solution called Sentinel Domotics enabling Fountaine Pajot and its customers to remotely receive any data available on the National Marine Electronics Association (NMEA) network including engine & battery parameters, fluid levels, temperature, humidity and wind data, water depth, speed, GPS coordinates and much more.
A smart switch is also available to turn on the NMEA system remotely for a short period when the NMEA system is switched off.
“We are delighted to partner with Fountaine Pajot and support the company’s transition into the new digital area of connected technologies. Over the last 12 years we have built an entire boating ecosystem with boat owners and shipyards at the centre of our developments. This new milestone is a testament to our vision to be at the heart of the connected boat revolution. Sentinel Domotics creates outstanding value not only for Fountaine Pajot but also for its customers and dealers”, Romain Devismes, CEO of Yacht Sentinel, commented. He continues: “This partnership is yet another demonstration that the boat industry is keeping up with the connected technologies seen in the smart home and automotive industries.”
Information is displayed on a user-friendly Fountaine Pajot app to give a better experience on the water and added peace of mind. Together with this Partner Platform, the 'ecosystem' sets a new standard for the connected boat sector.
“We are pleased to work with Yacht Sentinel to provide our clients and dealers with this innovative technology solution. Not only can we now offer a customised app with all NMEA data to our customers, but the “Partner Platform” allows us to improve customer support, reduce maintenance costs and better understand the usage of our boats, which are all critical aspects to continuously manufacture market-leading boats”, explained Romain Motteau, Fountaine Pajot Deputy Chief Executive Officer.
